uhkauksin

Uhkauksin is a Finnish word form related to the noun uhkaus, meaning "threat". It is used to indicate the manner or means by which an action is carried out, commonly translated as "by threats" or "with threats". The form is part of Finnish's system of case and adverbial endings that can express instrumentality or manner; in contemporary usage similar meanings may also be expressed with adessive or ablative constructions (e.g., uhkauksilla).

In written and spoken Finnish, uhkauksin appears in contexts describing coercion, intimidation or persuasion that relies on threats. Typical collocations include verbs for forcing, compelling or intimidating (for example, variants of "pakottaa" or "uhkailla" when describing the means used). The word is often found in journalistic, legal and historical texts where concise expression of method or motive is needed.

Legal and social contexts treat actions carried out "uhkauksin" as ethically problematic and, in many jurisdictions, criminal if they amount to coercion or extortion. In translation, uhkauksin is usually rendered as "by threats", "through threats" or "with threats", depending on nuance.

Related forms include uhkaus (singular), uhkaukset (plural), uhkauksella/uhkauksilla (with a threat/with threats), and uhkauksien (genitive plural). Usage frequency and stylistic preference vary between colloquial speech and formal written Finnish.
